Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging device, a readout unit, and a correction unit. The readout unit performs a first reading operation of reading out a first signal corresponding to accumulated electric charge on a pixel included in a first area of the imaging device, and performs a second reading operation of reading out a second signal corresponding to accumulated electric charge on a pixel included in a second area different from the first area. The correction unit corrects image signals based on signals obtained from the first and second areas by use of neighboring image signals obtained from neighboring pixels located near a pixel targeted for the correction process, and coefficients corresponding respectively to the neighboring pixels. The correction unit sets a coefficient corresponding to each of the neighboring pixels in accordance with the first or second reading operation executed on a neighboring pixel of the neighboring pixels.
